The Usos recall WWE officials telling them to ‘not look like Roman Reigns’

Former Tag Team Champions The Usos turned heel in 2016 for the first time in over half a decade and the duo also debuted a new look for their run as the villains.

 


 

The duo recently appeared on The New Day: Feel The Power podcast where they talked about a number of things and also revealed what the officials first thought about their new look.

According to the brothers, when they first showed the management their look, the officials told them that they looked too much like Roman Reigns:

“Yeah, use [there was resistance to Usos giving up the face paint]. Obviously, for the heel change, we needed to change everything, but they were saying when they had first seen us working in all black, it was like, ‘you guys look too much like Roman. Don’t look like Roman.”

The former Tag Champs then explained their reaction to these comments and also revealed that they had to fight to get the face paint off as well:

“‘Man, who the hell else are we supposed to look like? We’re in the same gene pool, uce.’ Like, we fought to get that [face paint] off. They wanted us to keep it, but in my mind it wasn’t going to work. “there was no way we could get away from that. Like, we were colorful, but then we had to get completely away from that. ‘They can’t tell who y’all are without the face paint.’ You know how that is.”
